What Guests Are Saying
Altamont is a fantastic camping spot with quiet, secluded areas and ample flat space for tents. The facilities, including flush toilets and a large pavilion, are well-maintained, making it ideal for large groups. While there was a temporary issue with drinking water availability, overall experiences were very positive, and visitors plan to return.

Amazing place to camp! Quiet, secluded, plenty of flat areas to lay a tent. Huge parking lot, huge pavilion. One large camp fire pit, two large charcoal grills. Everything was great for our large party. The hosts are nice and kept the bathrooms nicely stocked. It was great having flush toilets and running water. Also close to the river so the kids could play in it. It’s shallow. Plenty of shady spots to place your tent too. Not too far into the canyon, so some of our elderly went back home to sleep. Only 20 min drive to Cascade Springs too. Seriously will be using this place again.

The drinking water was not available for a day and a half. Other than that it was wonderful.

This is a beautiful Campground - we love that it’s semi-secluded and has the stream nearby. The camp hosts were fabulous

This campground is in high demand for a good reason. The views are beautiful and there's no better place to enjoy the outdoors this close to Utah County! We had a wedding reception here and it was perfect! Just remember to bring a generator if you're going to need electricity. Friends from out-of-state loved the canyon so much that they're coming back later to chase waterfalls in the county. Arches who? Never heard of her!
The hosts were just a short drive up the road and were very helpful. Great stay!

Beautiful area with a wheelchair accessible pavilion. The pavilion is large, It has a fire pit right in the center, so it can be used even in a heavy rain. There are two large grilling areas and a big stand for dutch oven cooking. There are hiking trails and a small river a short walk away. While we were there we saw moose. The area feels private because it is gated off from the rest of the public area. The bathrooms were clean and even had flush toilets. The campsite is close enough to plan trips to Timpanogos Cave or Cascade Springs.
